Clarity
Plain-language guidance for understanding different approaches, credentials, and ways of working.
An Ascent project
MindGuide
Find a therapist with more context.
MindGuide is a developing project designed to make choosing a therapist feel clearer, more informed, and less like searching through a list of names.
Why MindGuide
Finding support should feel understandable.
Looking for a therapist often begins at a moment when clarity is already difficult. Professional titles, therapeutic approaches, and directory profiles can make an important decision feel impersonal or confusing.
MindGuide is exploring how thoughtful information and better introductions can help people understand their options before making contact.

The approach
More context. Better questions. A more considered first step.
Depth
More room for therapists to communicate how they think and work than a conventional directory profile allows.
Your decision remains yours
MindGuide gives you information to consider; it does not choose a therapist for you
For therapists
A profile with more room to explain how you work.
A therapist is more than a list of qualifications and specializations. MindGuide is designed to give therapists space to describe their approach, help people understand what working with them may be like, and share writing that reflects how they think about psychological work.
Explain your approach
Describe how you work in clear language, beyond therapeutic orientation labels alone.
Give people more context
Help potential clients understand what they may encounter in the first sessions, the kinds of questions you work with, and what matters in your practice.
Share your thinking
Publish articles connected to your professional profile so people can become familiar with how you think before deciding whether to make contact.
MindGuide is being developed as a more informative way for people and therapists to find each other — without match scores, ratings or dating-app mechanics.
In development
MindGuide is taking shape.
The project is being developed carefully around the experiences of people seeking therapy and the professionals who want to describe their work with greater depth and honesty.
